According to agency reports, the meeting which was conducted at Amit Shah's apartment in New Delhi began around 7 pm following that CM Shinde and Deputy CM Ajit Pawar were seen&nbsp;leaving Shah's residence at 12:45 a.m. following the discussions.
The conversations were mostly about seat distribution within the Mahayuti Alliance in Maharashtra, which includes the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), the Shiv Sena led by Eknath Shinde, and the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) led by Ajit Pawar. JP Nadda, the BJP's national president, and Praful Patel, its state president, both attended the meeting, the reports stated.&nbsp;
